Iranian state TV announced on Sunday that a joint research satellite had successfully been launched into orbit by a Chinese rocket.
Iranian Telecommunication Minister Mohammad Soleimani said that Iran, China and Thailand worked together to build the satellite.
In his televised remarks, Soleimani said that the three countries suffer from natural disasters and the satellite would transmit photos to help deal with these crises.
Iran is working on creating a space program. Earlier in August, Iran test launched a rocket it hopes will one day carry its own research satellite into orbit.
